tantrum and a wreck

October 13, 2010

I believe this is the only proof of me landing a tantrum this year, and then followed by a good wreck! Thanks wifey for the fine video job.

interesting stats on tweets

October 12, 2010

“Toronto-based social media analytics company Sysomos scanned 1.2 billion messages that were sent in August and September 2009 to try and get some idea of the kind of conversations that are going on. They discovered that more than seven in every 10 tweets sink without any kind of reaction from the world.” Link to article […]

…follow up on The Road (movie)

January 21, 2010

To sum it up in one word, “grim.” The movie was good, it was graphic and true to the book. But I’ve decided the movie just can’t relay the poetic beauty of the book. You leave the book touched, whereas I left the movie theater depressed or slightly disturbed.

Kate and I are anxious to see “The Road” that is just now hitting certain theaters. We both read the book over the summer (Cormac McCarthy) and it was fantastically dark and beautiful. The movie looks good too:

10yrs sans TV

November 6, 2009

It just dawned on me that I’ve now gone 10 years and some change without cable TV. Overall this is a good thing, besides being one less bill to pay it keeps me focused on other hobbies. The only time I wish I had TV is during the Olympics, the Tour, and some big football […]

Bike to work day and razor blades

June 25, 2009

Two summers ago JJ and I went for a mountain bike ride up the Old Flowers jeep road. The highlight of this ride was that on the way down we were flying along when all of a sudden J’s tire rear blew out with a vengeance. Upon inspection we found a full utility razor blade […]
